Oshikuku

The Oshikuku Ministry Centre is situated in the northern part of Namibia. Oshikuku is about 800 km from Windhoek the capital city of Namibia and 30 km from Oshakati the main town in the north.The population of Oshikuku is about 18 000 inhabitants. Many of them live in the village setup and depend on agriculture for their survival. This village town has not been spared from the effects of the HIV/AIDS in our Country; hence the presence of our ministry centre in this community is very relevant.





We teach the Choose to wait program in a Secondary school. This has had a great positive influence on the children.We also have a Choose to Wait program at our centre for those learners who are interested during the week. In total we minister to seventy students on a weekly basis. One of the parents came to us to express her gratitude; she has seen a significant change in her daughter’s behavior since she joined the program.


Care and Compassion has been going on since the beginning of this year, there have been a decrease in numbers since we stopped to help them with food parcels. When we do receive large donations we share with them. We have a weekly Bible study, about fourteen of the original group attends and we have seen them growing spiritually. One client commented that she feels that the word of God is very vital to her just as food is!

Again due to a serious lack of funds, we were not able to introduce the new approach to Nurturing of Our Valuable Children. We just registered twenty- seven children and we hope to start our program in this term. Please pray for funds. Between the two families we foster seven children. It is a huge blessing to see how happy the children are in our care. One of the boys who struggled in the past with severe behavioral problems is now calm and is helping out a lot in and around the house.
All in all, our gratitude goes to God for sustaining us and the ministry thus far.
